Change term order of Taxonomy Frontend outpus

[willfaulds59Participant]

In the Frontend Search Settings options you can set Default term order to Name, Item Count or ID and Ascending or Descending.

Can I gain more control using PHP and a filter such as asp_pre_get_front_filters or asp_pre_parse_filters.

I’ve been digging around unsuccessfully for a few hours and can’t work out a method to do it. I would like to arrange some front filters in pairs and then add javascript to make them respond like toggles…

Hi!

There is one hook, which may help you with that:

$terms = apply_filters('asp_fontend_get_taxonomy_terms',
	$terms,
	$taxonomy,
	array(
		'orderby' => $term_ordering[0],
		'order' => $term_ordering[1],
		'include' => $terms,
		'include_ids' => $term_ids
	),
	$all_terms_were_requested
);

The $terms is the array of taxonomy term objects returned via the get_terms(..) core wordpress function.
You can either change the existing $terms array, or construct your own, and the plugin will display them in that order.

Before output, the plugin will do a minor change after this hook – it may move child terms after their corresponding parent term for correct displaying. If the terms are alrady ordered correclty (parent -> child -> grandchild -> etc..), it should not affect the final output.

Excellent! Thank you.

Posting to help others in the future

add_filter( 'asp_fontend_get_taxonomy_terms', 'asp_reorder_terms', 1, 3 );
function asp_reorder_terms($terms, $taxonomy, $args) {
	if ( $taxonomy == 'product_tag' ) {//'product_tag' is for WooCommerce

		$custom_order = [ 'slug2' , 'slug3' , 'slug4' , 'slug1' ];//desired order of terms using their slug
		$terms_reordered = [];
		$i = 0;
		foreach($custom_order as $slug => $data){
			foreach($terms as $term){
				if($term->slug == $slug){
					$terms_reordered[$i] = $term;
					unset($term);//unset so mark it reordered
				}
			}
			$i++;
		}
		return array_merge($terms_reordered, $terms);//merge in any terms not reordered
	}

	return $terms;
}

Thanks Ernest,

One last addon before it closes…

Some reasonably robust (perhaps you can suggest a better solution than using the ‘click’ event) and commented javascript for making filters act like toggles (in this case ONLY one can be one at a time, but both can be off, so NOT a true toggle).

jQuery(window).ready(function($) {
	function linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $master, $slave ){
		$master.on('click', function () {//must be ASP js that prevents 'change' working (even if override the input being hidden)
			if( jQuery(this).find('input[type=checkbox]').is(':checked') ) {//must be ASP js that prevents .checked working
				$slave.find('input[type=checkbox]').prop( "checked", false );
			}
		});
	}

	function linkASPFrontendFilter( term1, term2 ){
		if( jQuery( '.'+term1) !== null && jQuery( '.'+term2) !== null ){
			var $elem1 = jQuery( '.asp_option.'+term1 );
			var $elem2 = jQuery( '.asp_option.'+term2 );
			linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $elem1, $elem2 );
			linkASPFrontendFilterEvent( $elem2, $elem1 );
		};
	};

	//array toggle classes to be linked (Requires a theme override e.g. asp-tax-checkboxes.php with "str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower(strip_tags($term->label))); ?> ")
	const ao_asp_toggles = [
		['alcoholic','non-alcoholic'],
		['sparkling','still'],
	];
	//loop through the classes
	for (i = 0; i < ao_asp_toggles.length; ++i) {
		linkASPFrontendFilter( ao_asp_toggles[i][0], ao_asp_toggles[i][1] );
	};
});

This looks okay to me. It should support any future updates, and that is the most important point.
